  • Continued...

    Assuming that you are all trombonists and know what it takes to be able to play like that...I hope we all can agree that his playing here (in HIS CADENZA) is pretty virtuosic.

    Different strokes, I guess!

  • Look, fellas...he is playing a cadenza (In music, a cadenza (Italian for cadence) is, generically, an improvised or written-out ornamental passage played or sung by a soloist or soloists, usually in a "free" rhythmic style, and often allowing for virtuosic display. (Randel 1986)). Thank you Wikipedia.
